Eggplant 'Rosa Bianca' Plants

'Rosa Bianca' is an Italian heirloom eggplant that produces medium sized white fruits with a rosy blush.  The blue-green foliage is vigorous and a great protector to the abundant eggplants that are produced.  Growing exceptional well in the humid south these beauties will also produce a generous crop in the northern and western parts of US.  The mild fruits have creamy smooth flesh making it highly versatile in a plethora of different dishes.  A great choice for eggplant parmesan or for roasting.  The fruits should be picked at 3"-4" long before the seeds get large for best flavor.  Rosa Bianca is also a great eggplant for container gardening too!
